The real chief point of all this isn't the fact that a bunch of Knuckleheads blew up an engine though may not be of much monetary value but could have been someones pride and joy for many years if repaired or even upgraded properly.
The point is that this is a simple matter of human nature. Humanity's insatiable lust for destruction. Any excuse to destroy something. Anything. And some still wonder why morality and common sense are decaying at an exponential rate. The same thing actually applies to issues as serious as marriages. Ah, whatever excuse I can cough up to get rid of that bitch that you thought you loved years ago and married after only 72 hours of contact. Whatever I can cough up to get half my millionaire hubby's fortune. Who cares about the need for a happy and complete family by those little brats... (aka children). It's all about humanity's endless love affair with death and destruction.
Note: This is about homo saipiens as a species IN GENERAL, not aimed at particular individuals.
All that wasted fuel and no valuable data of scientific, engineering or practical value has come out of it. Even from a coldly logical point of view it was a pure waste.
For instance, a 40 inch LCD TV in Japan might be considered obsolete and replaced after 6 months of use. The stupid way would be to simply destroy it for nothing. Or if it still functions perfectly fine and most likely will for at least a good number of years you could simply sell it to someone else either local or foreign for a fraction of the original price. Of course you can NEVER recuperate all your losses, but it's better then just throwing a perfectly usable physical item of practical value away at a complete loss. If anything you could be doing less well to do families a great service. All while reducing the cost of your new TV from the money earned via trading in the old set.
The Japanese do in fact export a lot of their used cars that were either only a few years old and in excellent condition or restored to near OEM spec to a lot of countries in South East Asia. If you know where and who to look for, getting quality bargains for cars that range from post 2000 Mitsubishi Pajeros to Lexus IS300s isn't terribly difficult. The fact that people get to drive quality used vehicles at only a fraction of the price of brand new cars is itself a win-win situation where everyone ends up happy in the end (generally).
In this engine's case, why not just keep the car and all and just look for and sell it to someone who would restore it just because of their passion and love for the type of car? What a waste.
